attack had been made upon the person of one of our Eoyal Princes , the young Duke of Edinburgh . I trust , also that we shall never forget the sensation of relief and heartfelt satisfaction which we experienced when we heard that the Great Captain of our Salvation had , in his infinite mercy , stretched forth his protecting arm and rescued so young a Prince from so premature a grave . " It is , I believe , a well known and acknowledged fact , that ,

The motion was seconded by the Grand Chancellor , Sir P . Colquhoun , and on being put from the ehair was carried by acclamation .
